Helped prove my brother innocence

If you’re looking for someone to prove your innocence this is your guy! My brother got falsely accused of a criminal offense that he didn’t commit and he had the charges dropped.

Respectfully, appreciatedrespectfully, appreciate it

When my son and I were searching for a lawyer who has specific (verifiable )experience, as it pertains to my son's court case. I was extremely pleased when a recommendation to consider Attorney, George Powell crossed my desk. Not only was his credentials exactly what we were looking for. His consul...tation was clear, concise, focused, and to the point. I found him to be a great communicator and proficient in the court processes and procedures, We will refer him to others.

One for the good guys!

I am blessed to have met this man and his firm. He not only represented my daughter brilliantly, but he also became a friend/family in the midst of the drama. He is honest, trustworthy, dedicated, diligent, caring, and a man of faith. Despite the brokenness of this world, it’s awesome to know ther...e are people willing to step into the role of representing those wrongfully accused and making it personal. I would not hesitate to reach out to him in the future for and legal needs/advice. Praise God for men like Judge Powell.
